Szamos Szaloncukor Marzipan Chocolates 150g

Szamos szaloncukor are Christmas pralines pairing dark-chocolate-coated almond marzipan with fruity blackcurrant, plum, sour cherry and orange centres.

What Is Szamos Marzipan Szaloncukor?

Szaloncukor is one of Hungary’s best-loved Christmas traditions: individually wrapped pralines traditionally hung from Christmas tree branches and enjoyed throughout the festive season.

This Szamos selection brings together four dark-chocolate-coated almond marzipan pralines. The assortment includes vibrant blackcurrant, rich plum, sour cherry and orange cream fillings, each bringing a different fruit character to the smooth almond centre.

Crafted for marzipan lovers, the selection contains an exceptionally generous 58% marzipan and 24% dark chocolate. The result is a dense, satisfying almond centre beneath a crisp chocolate shell.

The plum praline is lifted with real Hungarian plum pálinka, adding an elegant, gently warming fruit depth that balances the sweet almond marzipan.

These szaloncukor are a lovely choice for a traditional family tree, a festive bowl with coffee or an elegant Hungarian-inspired gift.

The Five Marzipan Szaloncukor Flavours

• Sour cherry cream-filled marzipan dipped in dark chocolate
• Plum-filled marzipan with plum pálinka, dipped in dark chocolate
• Orange cream-filled marzipan dipped in dark chocolate
• Blackcurrant cream-filled marzipan dipped in dark chocolate

How to Enjoy and Hang Szaloncukor

Place the pralines in a bowl with coffee after dinner, add them to a festive dessert table or keep the selection ready when friends and family visit. The contrast of rich almond marzipan, dark chocolate and fruit fillings makes them particularly satisfying alongside espresso, black tea or a small glass of dessert wine.

To decorate a tree in the traditional Hungarian way, tie a fine loop of ribbon or thread around one twisted end of each wrapper, then hang the pralines from sturdy branches. Set aside a few for serving so the tree stays beautifully decorated throughout the season.

Where Does It Come From?

These chocolates are made by Szamos, one of Hungary’s best-known marzipan specialists. The family story began in the early 1930s, when Mátyás Szamos learned the art of making marzipan roses from a Danish confectioner while training in Budapest.

That early craft developed into a family confectionery business celebrated for marzipan, chocolates, cakes and gift-boxed specialities. This fruit-filled szaloncukor selection reflects that enduring marzipan expertise in a format made especially for Christmas sharing and gifting.
